Answer:

Option: Yes, I make a little more money; but my workday is very long and in dangerous heat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Labors in the 19th century worked in industries with no fixed shifting hours. Most of the industries were built on the basis of making a profit by the owners. Factories were built with big machines with little space for the workers. Industries created enormous heat from the machines which reflected in workers health because of no sufficient ventilators to pass the hot air.
